I am at the store every other day to keep stock on the good stuff. My kids can go through Costco-sized strawberries, blueberries, grapes, etc, in 36 hours. (I'm seriously fearful of their future bigger selfs). It's citrus season here and I just got tons of grapefruits for .19 each and oranges for almost as cheap. We love to juice citrus around here.
I will confess that last night in a total moment of stress, surrounded by 5 crazy kids, I threw about 20 m&ms into my mouth and sucked on that sweet chocolate to calm myself. Man...it worked! (And they tasted REALLY strong). I didn't even crave more but the chocolate really helped me to chill for a second. It's so weird how food can be tied to emotions. And it's hard when there's un-natural food at arm's reach...
I've been 99.9% sugar and processed foods-FREE for about 19 days and feeling quite good. Almost all the "junk" in our house has been eaten up by my family too. It feels good to be replacing everything with natural whole foods that will keep us lean and energized.
Blogging this is good for me since it will hopefully keep me accountable and motivated to not slip backward.
Tonight for dinner...chicken kebobs (or kabobs? I never remember how to spell that word).
-Take a wooden skewer stick (we have 400 of them for some reason!)
-Poke on chicken, bell peppers, onions, pineapple chunks, and chery tomatos.
-Drizzle with sauce or marinade - we're doing them teriyaki style.
-Grill and devour.
Mmmmm I can't wait.
That's one problem with eating super healthy and fresh -- you always have to be planning your next meal. And it usually makes me start drooling hours before.
I have ONE more pound of pregnancy weight to lose. I've been working hard at it and the payoff feels really great. (I've lost 7 lbs in the past 19 days - hooya!)
